I was thinking that tree looked like a t-Rex before she even said it 😂
Same 😂
50,000 subscribers!! I can’t say enough how much I appreciate all the support I’ve gotten from y’all the past couple years! We were planning on uploading a special video this past weekend as a small token of appreciation, but as he was finishing it there was a technical issue that Aaron described as “catastrophic,” so we’re going to try again this weekend! Be looking for that! Thank you again SO much for watching; I really couldn’t be out here doing what I’m doing without y’all’s support!
You deserve more subs Dixie! :D
So AWESOME!
Homemade Wanderlust (& Aaron) CONGRATULATIONS! :-)
No, Thank you for making this content. I'm already looking forward to Dixie's adventures on the CDT!
As a PC tech we never like to hear or use the word " “catastrophic,” when referring to our data - poor guy :-) His work is excellent! Dude you can come edit my videos any day :-)
Walking is a poem written in the language of self-propelled motion. Sometimes it surprises us that outsiders have a vested interest in our private journeys. Personal odysseys are bigger than the individuals making them. They are of interest to all humankind, for we share a common origin and a common destiny. The people we attract into our lives are reflections of who we are. Thanks, Dixie, for sharing your odyssey so generously. May you always walk in beauty.
Charles Sullivan, AT Georgia to Maine '82
Hahahahaha! Yes, just like a T-Rex! Thank you for these wonderful videos, Dixie! You have made me bust right out laughing, and gave me the warm-fuzzies; I have sighed with wonder, at the beauty that surrounds you, and just plain felt good, while listening to you speak your wisdom of life. One thing that impressed me most was when you showed us a panorama of, what some might consider a barren desert, and you exclaimed how beautiful it was. I totally agreed with you! We are Kindred Spirits, you and I. "A friend I haven't met yet." (That's a saying I learned from my Dad, when I was a leetle keed). What a joy it has been for me to share your adventures, the beautiful scenery, from the wide expanses down to, the wonderful close up photography of the flora and critters, and the precious camaraderie of Friends! THANK YOU, SO MUCH, Dixie!!
Trail Angels on the AT restored my faith in the fact that we, as a human race, are going to be just fine. I had the most amazing experiences with people who cared and supported me all along the journey. So glad it holds true on the PCT as well. This video made me smile!!! ER 71
Well said ER 71!!
Early_Riser_71 I don't have oodles of faith in the people of this country as a whole or the people of the world but, dammit there's a whole bunch of beautiful people out there like these trail angels right here!
Right on er,the world would be so much better off of all people where trail foke.let's not loose hope.
Early_Riser_71 unfortunately the AT is not the real world. You'll be quickly reminded of that when you come home.
ER, I was doing a section hike between Windy Stairs and the NOC first week in May. 38 degrees, sleet, AND a kidney stone. When I got to Wayah Bald shelter, I was a wreck. The people at the shelter had cell signal, called a local hostel to come pick me up, and a girl named Rocky, 5'2" hoisted my pack on her back and hiked it back up to the fire tower to meet our ride. I was blown away. They literally saved my life. There ARE good people in this world,...the problem is they are out on the AT.
I saw t-rex too
ditto
Me too! TRex! - funny, I saw both "pop corn" then later 'French fries' once on the trail (it was not food at all but little flowers) thats when I laughed and said ... think I might be hungry!
Common Sense ok speaking of t-rex, did anyone else see a snapping turtle tree stump at the end at the Trail magic place??
Godzilla!!
yeah at 11:34:)
Yep. That was a T-Rex tree. They only move around at night though. ;)
I don't thinks it's just the editing how powerful these videos are to me. The need to Hike the PCT is growing every day.
Forget the snakes, watch out for those T-Rexes! lol
I think I'm more than halfway binge-watching Dixies videos started this morning and it's noon.
Looks like a T-Rex to me too! Loving your videos!
My favorite part of this series is the family atmosphere. Drinks and snacks left for hikers, and places to sleep ❤💙💚💛💜
Thank you! I can't say that an ugly word never slips in here or there, but it's rare; we try to keep it clean :)
i've never experienced trail magic but when i was backpacking across europe i experience much of the same type of kindness and generosity from countless people. it always touched my heart how kind and generous people can be and when you see it and experience it, it really helps restore your faith in humanity and to know the world even though it can be a cruel place can have it's good and hope that good will conquer evil one day.
Wow, better than a National Geographic documentary. The best TH-camrs are making TV obsolete. Thanks, Dix!
Best episode yet. It's amazing to see how grateful you are to all the self-less trail angels.
I score Ep 13 as a 10. Good visuals, great sound quality, interesting site specific story line. The dead cat in the drinking water was a great extra.
The trail of life has many trail angels & many opportunities for each of us to be trail angels from time to time. God bless.
Wow, Dixie, this is my favorite segment to date, they're all good of course, but this one had so much in it, e.g., picking up, and kissing that little Horned lizard, and then the very touching commentary about all the wonderful folks who do trail magic.
Needless to say, you are a natural story teller, your videographers eye just keeps getting better all the time, and your editor does a fantastic job of putting it all together. And the music selections he adds always seem to fit, and really help convey the mood of the story as well.
Oh, the dead cat in the well, gag, poor thing.
hey Dixie that was so sweet to thank all of those people, it seems like every time you are exhausted or hungry they appear out of nowhere! So cool.
So glad I stayed up late over here in the UK for a Dixie fix :-) amazing memories you are sharing with us all. Thank you for taking us with you on the journey and sharing your trail magic with us all. Wishing you all the best and to Aron I doff my cap because you are doing an amazing job of editing the footage into mini masterpieces.
This made me tear up a bid. Thanks for sharing.
I have yet to be able to do a thru hike but have met a few while backpacking and one of the most consistent things they say is how much faith in humanity they gained while doing it from the kindness of strangers they get.
On a side note, just came off a section hike of the PCT near Mt Whitney, while I did not get to assent Whitney do to bronchitis, I still made it up to Guitar lake, everything is very passable to that point and there is clear (non snow) camping at Guitar lake and minimal snow even up to Mt Whitney from others who did assent Whitney. We camped with about 10 PCT'ers that left to climb Whitney at 3 am to see the sun rise at the highest point in the lower 48. Shout out to "Just Mike" who we met on the trail.
I did a section hike of the PCT across the Mojave Desert back in April, 1984. The route was on the aqueduct the entire way to at least Jawbone Canyon. It was a temporary route, the route now is quite a bit west of Jawbone. There were other people hiking the route as well. Many of them were withdrawing water from the aqueduct without treating the water. The claimed it was safe because it came out of a pipe (actually a buried conduit). I told them they were drinking Rush Creek, Mammoth Creek, Rock Creek, the Owens River, etc. and all the other creeks down the Owens Valley and that the water was not treated. They stood their ground and insisted that water from any pipe was safe. I was a Forest Service recreation and lands officer at the time and knew exactly what it took to provide clean, safe water to campgrounds, trailheads, etc. I never heard about the fate of these people. I would expect there were some cases of giardia.
Your videos lately have been fire! Awesome!
I wanted to stand up at the end and give a standing ovation! Love it! Great awesome video as always! Keep on keeping on! Congrats on your 50k I can't imagine how great that feels -we love you, you've touched us all in some way! Thanks to your editor - excellent!!!
Not everyone can do these long hikes, but loves the thought of how hard core the adventure is, and helping hikers is a great way to experience a small part of the journey
I could watch this show every day. I hope that one day I have the resources and courage to do a thru hike.
You must be getting really, really tired of the desert by now. I know I would be. Just keep thinking about the beautiful snow covered peaks up ahead, and how cool it will be. Then when you're up there freezing your behind, you can look back on how nice and warm the desert was. Happy trails Dixie.
Good use of music can take mediocre material and make it tug at your heart strings. This isn't mediocre material. Dixie's eye for the beauty in the world, and Aaron's eye for what's special in her footage and how it should be assembled make this channel a beautiful, bright spot in our lives. Thank you both.
Girl,you made me cry there at the end. Such giving souls on the trail.
It's wonderful how trail magic appears when you could really use some (I've benefitted). We need reminders that there are good folk.
This video made me smile....just a beautiful little episode of Dixie's PCT thru-hike. And then I started reading comments and found that I am not the only one who thinks the same. You seem to be so at-peace out there. Very introspective and inspiring. Trek-on!
Thanks for taking us along. The pictures of scenery and wildlife were beautiful as always - they are my favorite parts of your videos. I can't get over how dry this section of the PCT is - stay safe!
Hey Dixie - I've been following you since your days on the AT and I must say your videos on the PCT are amazing. Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us.
I'm glad you're enjoying them! Thank you so much for watching :)
After a 50 mile biking day in Phoenix, Dixie is what I watch to relax. You make me happy happy happy girl. Keep up the good work. You got this!
Jon Rogers no doubt
Favorite one yet. Trail Angels are named appropriately.
Hearing about all those amazing people doing trail magic gave me goosebumps.
Congrats on 50K followers! Been following you on both trails, keep on keepin on!
May the breeze cool your face. May the streams be running and the water sweet. May you find more trail magic along the way from those that, as we know, are truly angels. Thanks for a great episode again.
I always enjoy Dixie Wednesdays. :)
That's what I like about catching up with your daily or shall I say weekly video uploads. They always look on the bright side of things in a topsy turvy world we live in. It's good to see you back in the saddle, again, Dixie! Frank T.
Loved this one!!! It's so great seeing the good in people for a change. Thank you for sharing!
Wow. What a fantastic episode. This one was so good.
Lovely message at the end. Thank you.....
What a lovely tribute!
fantastic! always love watching your videos. just came out of the mountains yesterday with a bunch of great new memories of being alone in the wilderness.
You're already sharing trail magic with your videos. Loving every one of them so far, thank you!
Such a great role model. Keep it up! Thank you, to you and your editor, for all of these updates. I really look forward to them.
These are so entertaining! Girl, you’re gettin me all pumped up. I can’t WAIT to do my first thru-hike!
Hey Dixie! This episode is special to me, because I happen live about 20 miles east of HikerTown. I've been there myself, Such a cool place.
Dixie, your videos have been so amazing and meaningful lately. I'm loving it!!!
watched your AT thru hike and just binged watched your PCT tonight- can't wait to see the rest!
Beautiful! Especially loved the music at the end. It perfectly captured the positivity, appreciation for, and magic of the trail angels.
Great videos! I love virtually hiking with you- I hope your hike continues to go well, you stay healthy!
Your best episode so far...thank you
What a wonderful conclusion and tribute to all the angels out there!
Really nice video, love that you take time to see all the small things that we all normally pass by and miss out on. Stay safe.
First time I have viewed anyone on the PCT and I really enjoyed this one. Take Care

Dixie way to go girl!!!!We love you here from douglasville ,GA!
Dixie you are such an inspiration! I've learned so much about trail life from each of your videos, but most importantly you've taught me the power of keeping a positive mindset through all the challenges. I can't thank you and your editor enough for putting together these amazing videos! Happy trails!
Just getting started with your PCT thru hike and I'm blown away with your positive attitude, friendly demeanor, and general kindness. You've videos are so well done and those close up are so clear. The editing of these videos are outstanding. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos and sharing with those of us who may never have the chance to make this epic journey. Thanks again for taking us along.
Hi Dixie. Thanks for allowing us to take these journeys with you!! Been following since the AT! Love your videos!
Another wonderful vid. Thanks Dixie.
You have inspired me so much. Now more than ever I want to hike the PCT. One of my dreams.
Wednesday is now one of my favorite days of the week because it means I get to watch another amazing video from Dixie. Thank you so much!
Beautiful, you and your words of encouragement. trail magic is a blessing and letting others know about it is giving. followed you since your first video on the at, it is pure joy to watch your happiness, thank you for sharing it with us
My favorite vlog of yours yet. Have watched all of your AT and now on PCT. This was magical. Music was perfect. Video was perfect. ❤️
Congrats on 50,000 subscribers! You deserve it Dixie! I can't get over how beautiful the trail is. hope you were able to do something fun for the 4th. thinking of you, stay safe! xoxo
You're inspiring...can't wait for the next video!
wow!!! just wow! This is probably one of my favorite of your PCT videos. You're amazing!
RIGHT! I left this video feeling like I needed to applaud! Great work!
Thank you!
The videos keep getting better!
Homemade Wanderlust and the movie from As it Happens: The PCT are the two best PCT productions I have seen. Great job girl. Keep it up.
WOW! Thank you :)
Well well, your vidéos are also trail magic! For those away from these beautiful landscapes. Thank you!
Wow Dixie. I just found your channel a couple days ago and began watching your PCT journey. This is my favorite video yet, it blew my mind and made me tear up a little. Great videos, you're an inspiration and someday I hope to get out on the trails. I will definitely keep watching your videos, much better than anything on outdoor TV channels these days.
needed this so badly, thanks for doing this and keep up the awesome footage/editing!
Decided to watch a hiker video before heading out into the world today ... so happy I chose yours! Thanks for this and happy trails.
I just love watching your videos. You have definitely inspired me to be more adventurous. Later this year a friend and I are hiking down to Havasupai in Arizona. It will be our first real hiking experience. You have helped me so much on what I will need to get started.
Excellent video, best yet by far! Really encouraging! Thanks Dixie :)
Love your videos. You really do some serious trekking. Stay safe, keep those videos coming.
Nice! I enjoy all of your videos, and this one is no exception.
Seen a few of your videos on pack stuff, etc. Just came across these videos of the PCT, and I've been binge watching them. This one got the tears flowing, at the end. I so long to do the entire trail. Thank you for the inspiration. ~ Jules
I hate when these videos end!! The trail magic must be amazing. It always seems to come at the perfect/most needed time. It's been incredible watching you tackle the desert miles and all the cool people, scenery and wildlife you've encountered. Lots of challenges for sure. Great job Dixie!!
Awesome, Dixie, you are a true good sole, way beyond your years!! Thank you for all of these videos, I grew up in Huntsville, and Oklahoma so love your dialect, it's all about being simple and enjoying the moments you never get back everyday!
I saw a T-Rex too! That little mouse and horntoad were so DANG cute! That's the kinda stuff I would find myself suddenly off trail and lost for. I would have been following it all over, lol.
I just gotta say I am inspired to be a trail angel or do some trail magic myself one day. I imagine the people who do it and have never walked the trail have empathetic admiration. I don't ever want to do a full thru-hike but I get why others do and would love to help support their dream out of admiration. Also, people who live in those climates and out in the country understand the conditions better than anyone.
Awww....that's so sweet about your most recent trail angels. I literally cried during that montage (nice work Aaron). Your sweet and positive spirit is a blessing Dixie! War Eagle! 💗✌🏻
Awe Dixie, you made me tear up! There really are caring and compassionate folks out there in the world. One can only hope that more and more of that kindness spreads.
Thank you for sharing your adventures!
I have just binge watched all your pct vids and now i have to wait like everyone else for the next episode. I'll start watching the AT series in the meantime. Love your videos, your spirit, commitment, bravery and Strength. I wish I could meet you when you get across the border but I don't think I'd be on the mainland at that time. I live on Vancouver island, home of the West coast trail and Pacific coast trail.
happy trails
The kindness of others is just amazing. Life is too short to not want to do good. wishing you all the best Jessica! xoxo
This was your best edited video yet ... the end was the best example of why I watch : ) keep up the walk, keep up the talk, keep up the care!
Thank you for reminding us all that there really are kind people in this world. That made me smile and uplifted my day. :) Thanks!
Wander..... really, really enjoying your adventure. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Praying for you!! Best wishes...... Ax
Love watching your videos, another great one!!
